Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 6 –In a medium bowl, stir the sour cream, the mayonnaise, and the cheddar cheese together. Set it aside.
Step 7 –In another medium bowl, combine the biscuit mix and the remaining water and stir until a soft dough forms.
Step 8 –Add the dough to the prepared pan and pat it down, spreading it out so that it covers the bottom and extends up the sides a little.
